Picture a pristinely focused red wine with penetrating fruit, bracing acidity, depth, and wildly intriguing flavors. You could be tasting an Austrian Zweigelt, and if you’re seeking value, it pays to look outside of the box and try something fresh and new. When you consider who’s involved in this project, and take notice of more than 60 percent discount, this one should be a no brainer. It’s a project between Alois Kracher, one of Austria’s most iconic producers, and Manfred Krankl of Sine Qua Non.
Zweigelt is a cross between St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch, and the varietal hasn’t even been around 100 years and is already the most widely planted red wine grape in Austria. The grape is denser than Pinot Noir and is known for its penetrating fruit, exotic spice, and firm acidity.
This brilliant interpretation of Zweigelt arose from Estate Vineyards in Burgenland, along the shore of Lake Neusiedl. The climate is hot during the day and is cooled by evening fog, which allows the grapes to ripen to their optimum potential.

2015 SCHWARZ ZWEIGELT, BURGENLAND, AUSTRIA
Tasting Notes “The 2015 Schwarz Zweigelt has a deep, enchanting nose of Spring violets, black raspberries, plum skins, and hints of potpourri. The palate is lush, elegant, and seamless, and opens with concentrated blueberry, black cherry, wildflowers, and spice cake. The finish is smooth and pure with a bracing acidity, light toast, and lingering spice.”
